Is a Barbershop Subscription Worth It? How to Choose Your Plan
It is worth it when you visit the barbershop often: anyone who gets a haircut and a beard trim more than once a month usually pays less on a plan than on single visits, and also gets guaranteed scheduling and a discount on add-ons. If you go rarely, single visits suit you better.
The barbershop subscription has become a talking point in Curitiba, and the question that comes up most is always the same: is it worth it, or just a trend? The honest answer is that it depends on how many times a month you go. In this article you do the math with your own numbers and find out which Club Barbarov plan fits your routine. If you would rather start with an overview of how it works, first read how the Von Barbarov barbershop subscription works.
How to do the math: single visits or a plan
With single visits, you pay for the service each time. With a plan, you pay a fixed amount per month. The comparison is simple: add up what you spent on hair and beard last month and compare it with the plan that covers those same services. The Club page has a table of single-visit and plan prices with current values.
Someone who gets a beard trim every week, for example, already goes more than four times a month, and that is the profile where the unlimited plan usually makes the most difference. Someone who gets a haircut once every three weeks has a different calculation, and a plan with limited use may be enough.
Which plan fits your profile
- You go rarely, but want your hair and beard always in shape: the Club One (one haircut every 30 days) and Club Duo (one haircut and one beard every 30 days) plans have limited use and a fixed price.
- You go every week or every ten days: the FREE plans (Cabelo FREE, Barba FREE or Corte & Barba FREE: hair, beard, or hair and beard) have unlimited use within the month.
- You want scheduling priority: Cabelo & Barba VIP (hair and beard) has unlimited use and booking priority.
All plans include 10% off other services and products. That applies, for example, to hair and beard hydration, eyebrows, facial therapy and nose and ear hair removal. See the full list of services on the services page.
What changes beyond the price
A plan changes your relationship with the calendar. Members can see the schedule for the next 7 days and plan week by week through online booking. Instead of remembering to book when your hair is already past its best, you fit the barbershop into your routine, like the gym or lunch.
There is also no waiting period and no minimum commitment: you can use it from the first week and cancel whenever you want. Payment is recurring on a credit card, and the plan is personal, meaning it cannot be transferred or used by someone else. The Club has existed since 2021 and has more than 750 members across the Curitiba locations.
When single visits are the best choice
If you go to the barbershop two or three times a year, or only on special occasions, single visits make more sense. The same goes if you still want to try Von Barbarov before subscribing. Start with a single visit, and if you like it, the plan is one step away.
